Notable quotes
“I know audio track whether if you played it at loud volume if it would get people like kind of into it or not. And it comes down to things like tempo.”
“When I built TNA, I said, I'm going to write the audio track for this. I'm going to make every single one of those a specific tempo, a specific intensity so that it really gets people moving on the inside.”
“Atari has way more money than I do because that's how things work in the United States. Like if they get sued basically it's who has the most money is gonna win.”
